Hello, English learners.
Welcome back to another advanced lesson with us here at EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
And my name is Erica.
So today we're bringing you another advanced lesson, and this time it's kind of historical.
Like the name suggests, we are listening in as a president says goodbye to the nation
before he steps down from his role as president.
Now, actually, this dialogue is.
Very much based on President Eisenhower's farewell speech.
Okay, so a pretty famous.
Now, we have to tell you that we did change the speech a little bit, right?
Yeah, just a little bit to make it a little bit more understandable,
but it 's basically what he said to the nation back in 1969.
All right, now I will as well tell you that this is a pretty hard dialogue.
It is very hard because the structures are a little bit complicated and even to a certain point,
a little bit poetic, right?
So why are we taking this speech as our dialogue?
What are we going to learn from this?
Well, we 're going to learn some structures and some words that you can use maybe on a resignation letter or maybe
in a celebration you want to thank Pete for coming.
